Definition of Facial nerve
< b>Facial nerve: The facial nerve is the seventh cranial nerve. It is a
mixed nerve that has fibers both going out and coming in (both efferent and afferent
fibers). It supplies the muscles of facial expression.
Paralysis of the facial nerve causes a characteristic picture with drooping of
one side of the face, inability to wrinkle the forehead, inability to whistle, inability
to close the eye and deviation of the mouth toward the other side of the face. Paralysis
of the facial nerve is called Bell's palsy.
